Re: what rearend do i have?
jd. Only 2 ways to tell. one is try to get the numbers off the top of the right hand axel tube and take them to or call a dealer parts dept. Second, pull the cover off the rear end, rotate the ring gear and look for a series of numbers. There will be a series of 4 numbers seperated by a ":". Example 15:42 ect. OK, now divide the 42 by 15 and thats your ratio. Jim

Re: what rearend do i have?
Mine has a RPO sticker in the glove box. It says the ratio with all of the other options.

Re: what rearend do i have?
On the RPO Sticker in the glove box you need to find the codes that begin with the letter "G".
GU4 3:08 Ratio GU6 3:42 Ratio GT4 3:73 Ratio If you have the "G80" code as well then you have positraction on the truck.

Re: what rearend do i have?
count the teeth on the ring gear and divide that by the number of teeth on the pinion gear. thats a sure fire way of KNOWING what gear ratio you have.............
